Wellbeing 360: Heart Health and Healing

We are not just our physical bodies. We are also made up of our emotional, mental and social selves all of which arise from our spiritual being. This event combines all four areas of our being and will provide you with simple takeaways to improve your heart health and your emotional, mental and social self.

The event will start with Margaret Eagan, MD presenting on lifestyle patterns of heart health including blood pressure, cholesterol, and A1C, along with healthy nutrition, movement and sleep patterns.

“Illness gives us the opportunity to explore and shift lifestyle patterns. Wellness consciousness allows us to integrate self care into our lives in illness and in health,” Dr. Eagan says.

Following Dr. Eagan’s presentation, Erin Cunningham will introduce you to HeartMath™, an evidence-based program focused on building resilience, reducing stress and enhancing overall wellbeing. During this hands-on portion of the presentation, you will learn about the Institute of HeartMath’s research into the physiology of optimal performance. You will walk away with concrete practices that increase well-being, mental clarity and emotional stability.

Food will be provided.
